Throat in a dream

Biblical meaning from Hearing God's Voice in Dreams by Apostle Nicholas V. Mbanjwa

Also: Neck passage, Windpipe, Gullet

What it means

Appetite.

Human speech. Their throat is an open sepulchre — what proceeds from it reveals what is within.

Put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.

✦ When it is positive

A normal throat, representing a controlled appetite
Speech that is clean

⚠ When it is a warning

A large throat, representing uncontrolled appetite
A bad throat, representing words full of sin, harmful and rotten

How to tell the difference

The throat serves both EATING and SPEAKING, so establish which the dream emphasises. A throat that is obstructed or gripped may point to speech suppressed — see Being Unable to Speak.
